General Terms and Conditions




Performance Share Awards



THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS AWARD SHALL VEST, IF AT ALL,
ONLY DURING THE PERIOD OF THE GRANTEE’S CONTINUOUS SERVICE (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED,
BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER) AND UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH OTHER
EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THE GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT NOTHING IN THE NOTICE OF AWARD, THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THESE GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR THE PLAN SHALL CONFER UPON THE GRANTEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE AWARDS OR
CONTINUATION OF THE GRANTEE’S CONTINUOUS SERVICE, NOR SHALL IT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE
GRANTEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR RELATED ENTITY TO WHICH THE GRANTEE PROVIDES
SERVICES TO TERMINATE THE GRANTEE’S CONTINUOUS SERVICE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND WITH
OR WITHOUT NOTICE. THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNLESS THE GRANTEE HAS A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY TO THE CONTRARY, THE GRANTEE’S STATUS IS AT WILL.




     The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Specific Terms and Conditions,
these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus, and represents that he or she is familiar
with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Award subject to all of the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof. The Grantee has reviewed the notice of award (the “Notice”), the
Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus in
their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this
Award, and fully understands all provisions of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and
Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus. The Grantee hereby agrees that
all questions of interpretation and administration relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific
Terms and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions shall be resolved by the Administrator
in accordance with Section 11 of these General Terms and Conditions. The Grantee further agrees to
the venue selection in accordance with Section 12 of these General Terms and Conditions. The
Grantee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.



     1. Issuance of Performance Shares. The performance Shares issued to the Grantee shall
be subject to the Notice, the Specific Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions,
the Prospectus and the Plan, as amended from time to time, which are incorporated herein by
reference. All performance Shares issued to the Grantee shall be deemed issued to the Grantee as
fully paid and non-assessable shares, and the Grantee shall have the right to vote the performance
Shares at meetings of the Company’s stockholders. The Company shall pay any



 









 







applicable stock transfer taxes imposed upon the issuance of the performance Shares to the
Grantee hereunder.



     2. Transfer Restrictions. The performance Shares issued to the Grantee may not be
sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the
Grantee prior to the date when the performance Shares become vested pursuant to the vesting
schedule and satisfaction of the performance goals set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions.
The determination of whether such performance goals have been achieved and, if applicable, the
degree of achievement, shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any attempt to
transfer performance Shares in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and shall be
disregarded.



     3. Escrow of Shares. The Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the
certificate(s) for the performance Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an
Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in
blank by the Grantee with respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for so long as such performance
Shares have not vested pursuant to the vesting schedule and satisfaction of the performance goals
set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions, with the authority to take all such actions and to
effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
objectives of these General Terms and Conditions in accordance with the terms hereof. The Grantee
hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or
their designee) as the escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement
to the Company to issue the Award and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is
accordingly irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to the
parties (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly
negligent relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document
executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of
performance Shares, the escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the
Grantee the certificate evidencing such shares.



     4. Additional Securities and Distribution.



          (a) Any securities or cash received (other than a regular cash dividend) as the result of
ownership of the performance Shares (the “Additional Securities”), including, but not by way of
limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the Company’s capital
structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the performance Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without
limitation, the vesting schedule and performance goals set forth in the Specific Terms and
Conditions. The Grantee shall be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any warrant or option
received as Additional Securities upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the
securities so purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct the
Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist of a convertible
security, the Grantee may exercise any conversion right, and any securities so acquired shall
constitute Additional Securities. In the event of any change in certificates evidencing the
performance Shares or the Additional Securities by reason of any



2









 







recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that results in the creation of
Additional Securities, the escrow holder is authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates
evidencing the performance Shares or the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of
the replacement securities.



          (b) The Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash dividends with respect to the
performance Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested or not), less any applicable
withholding obligations.



     5. Taxes.



          (a) Section 83(b) Election. If the Grantee makes a timely election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or similar provision of
state law (collectively, an “83(b) Election”), the Grantee shall immediately pay the Company the
amount necessary to satisfy any applicable United States federal, state, local or non-U.S. income
and employment tax withholding obligations. In the event the Grantee determines to make an 83(b)
Election, the Grantee hereby represents that he or she understands (a) the contents and
requirements of the 83(b) Election, (b) the application of Section 83(b) of the Code to the receipt
of the performance Shares by the Grantee pursuant to the Notice, the Plan and these General Terms
and Conditions, (c) the nature of the election to be made by the Grantee under Section 83(b) of the
Code, (d) the effect and requirements of the 83(b) Election under relevant state and local tax
laws, (e) that the 83(b) Election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty
(30) days following the date of the issuance of the Award, and (f) that the Grantee must submit a
copy of such election to the Company and with his or her federal tax return for the calendar year
in which the date of the issuance of the Award falls.



          (b) Tax Liability. The Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes
owed by the Grantee in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company or any
Related Entity takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with
the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any representation or undertaking
regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award
or the subsequent sale of Shares subject to the Award. The Company and its Related Entities do not
commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s tax
liability.



          (c) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Award
(e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of the performance goals as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) that the Company determines may result in any
tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state, local or non-U.S., including any
employment tax obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), the Grantee must arrange for the
satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the
Company.



               (i) By Sale of Shares. Unless the Grantee determines to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (ii) below, the Grantee’s acceptance of
this Award constitutes the Grantee’s instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage
firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell



3









 







on the Grantee’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to the Grantee as
the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the
minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Such Shares will be sold on the day such Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of
the performance goals as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) or as soon thereafter
as practicable. The Grantee will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and
the Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or
expenses relating to any such sale. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Grantee’s
minimum Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to the Grantee.
The Grantee acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for
such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to
satisfy the Grantee’s minimum Tax Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to pay
to the Company or any Related Entity as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll
withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of
Shares described above.



               (ii) By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than two (2) business days
(or such fewer number of business days as determined by the Administrator) before any Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of
the performance goals as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the Grantee may elect
to satisfy the Grantee’s Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the
Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to
such account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company,
or (z) such other means as specified from time to time by the Administrator, including, but not
limited to, by withholding from those Shares issuable to the Grantee the whole number of Shares
sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation.



     6. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in these General Terms and Conditions, the Notice or the Plan, the Company may
issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own
records.



     7. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of these General Terms and Conditions or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the
right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have
been so transferred.



     8. Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon
any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be
required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings
and agreements of the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may
not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the
Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions and

rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms
and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions are to be construed in accordance with and

rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws
of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the
Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions or these General Terms and Conditions be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent
allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain
enforceable.

Conditions are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Award for

to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.



     11. Administration and Interpretation. Any question or dispute regarding the
administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions or
these General Terms and Conditions shall be submitted by the Grantee or by the Company to the
Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all persons.



     12. Venue. The Company and the Grantee (the “parties”) agree that any suit, action,
or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions
or these General Terms and Conditions shall be brought in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action,
suit or proceeding, in a North Carolina state court in Wake County) or (at the Grantee’s or such
assignees’ election) the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (or
should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a California state
court in Santa Clara County) and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court.
The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may
have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding

brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 12 shall for any reason
be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions
shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and
enforceable.



     13. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an
internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail
by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid,
addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address
